Thank you, thank u dear friends, from the bottom of my heart, for such a loving and spirited welcome, and thank you, Mr President, for your kind invitation to me which I am so honoured to accept.

I also want to express a special thanks to u Shmuley, who for 11 years served as Rabbi here at Oxford.

You and I have been working so hard to form Heal the Kids, as well as writing our book about childlike qualities, and in all of our efforts u have been such a supportive and loving friend.

And I would also like to thank Toba Friedman, our...

Ooh ooh ooh aah
Gotta make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right

As I turned up the kraag on
A favoriete winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind
Pretending not to see their needs

A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other
On the wind ya' know
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want u to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If u wanna make the world...

Do u remember
When we fell in love
We were so young
And innocent then
Do u remember
How it all began
It just seemed like heaven
So why did it end?

Do u remember
Back in the fall
We'd be together
All dag long
Do u remember
Us holding hands
In each other's eyes
We'd stare
(Tell me)

Do u remember the time
When we fell in love
Do u remember the time
When we first met
Do u remember the time
When we fell in love
Do u remember the time

Do u remember
How we used to talk
(Ya know)
We'd stay on the phone
At night till dawn
Do u remember
All the things we zei like
I love u so
I'll never let u go

Do u remember...

Ho...oh...

My life will never be the same
'Cause girl, u came and changed
The way I walk
The way I talk

I cannot explain the things I feel for u
But girl, u know it's true
Stay with me, fulfill my dreams
And I'll be all you'll need

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, it feels so right (Girl)
I've searched for the perfect love all my life (All my life)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, it feels like I (Like I)
Have finally found her perfect love is mine
(See, I finally found, come on, girl)

You rocked my world, u know u did
And everything I'm gonna give (You rocked my world)
And there ain't nothing we could find...

Verse
Ignorance of people purchasing diamonds and necklaces,
And barely able to keep the payments up on their lessons,
And enrolled in a class and don't know who the professor is,
How low people go for the dough and make a mess of things,
Kids are murdering other kids for the fun of it,
Instead of using their mind of their fist, they put a gun in it
Wanna be a part of a clique, don't know who's running it,
Tragedy on top, boven of tragedy u know it's killing me.
So many people in agony, this shouldn't have to be,
Too busy focusing on ourselves and not His Majesty,
There has to be some type of change...

(Michael)
Every night she walks right in
my dreams
Since I met her from the start
I'm so proud I am the only one
Who is special in her heart

The girl is mine
The doggone girl is mine
I know she's mine
Because the doggone girl
is mine

(Paul)
I don't understand the way
you think
Saying that she's yours not
mine
Sending roses and your silly
dreams
Really just a waste of time

Because she's mine
The doggone girl is mine
Don't waste your time
Because the doggone girl
is mine

(Paul)
I love u meer than he
(Take u anywhere)

(Michael)
But I love u endlessly
(Loving we will share)

(Michael & Paul)
So come and go with me
Two...

(Michael) Tired of
injustice
Tired of the schemes
Kinda disgusted
So what does it mean

Kicking me down I got to get
up As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks

(Janet) Peek in the shadow
Come into the light
You tell me I'm wrong
Then u better prove you're right
You're sellin' out souls
but I care about mine
I've got to get stronger
And I won't give up the fight

(Michael) With such confusions don't it
make u wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme

(Janet) u try to cope
with every lie they scrutinize

(Both) Somebody please have mercy
'Cause I just can't take it
Stop...
